Description
Gehäuse insbesondere für ein ElektrogerätHousing in particular for an electrical device
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Gehäuse insbesondere für ein Elektrogerät, mit einem Gehäuseteil, das einen nicht-kreisförmigen Querschnitt aufweist, und das von einem lösbaren Gehäuseboden verschlossen ist.The invention relates to a housing, in particular for an electrical device, with a housing part which has a non-circular cross section and which is closed by a detachable housing base.
Es sind zylinderförmige Gehäuseteile bekannt, die mit einem Gewinde oder dergleichem durch einen kreisförmigen Gehäuseboden verschlossen sind. Zum Öffnen des Gehäuseteils wird der Gehäuseboden von einem Benutzer durch Drehen in einen geöffneten Zustand überführt und dann aus dem Gehäuseteil herausgenommen. Beispielsweise bei einem Elektrogerät kann der Benutzer dann verbrauchte Batterien auswechseln.Cylindrical housing parts are known which are closed with a thread or the like by a circular housing base. To open the housing part, the housing base is turned into an open state by a user and then removed from the housing part. In the case of an electrical device, for example, the user can then replace used batteries.
Bei unrunden Gehäuseteilen sind andere Vorrichtungen bekannt, mit denen der ebenfalls unrunde Gehäuseboden an dem Gehäuseteil lösbar befestigt ist. Beispielsweise kann der Gehäuseboden in das Gehäuseteil eingesteckt und dort arretiert sein. Insbesondere im Vergleich zu dem beschriebenen einfachen Hinein- und Herausdrehen des Gehäusebodens ist ein derartiges Einstecken und Arretieren für den Benutzer häufig mit Schwierigkeiten verbunden.In the case of non-round housing parts, other devices are known with which the likewise non-round housing base is detachably fastened to the housing part. For example, the housing base can be inserted into the housing part and locked there. In particular, in comparison to the simple screwing in and out of the housing base described, such insertion and locking is often associated with difficulties for the user.
Davon ausgehend ist es die Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Gehäuse mit einem unrunden Gehäuseteil zu schaffen, dessen Gehäuseboden von einem Benutzer leicht geöffnet und verschlossen werden kann.Based on this, it is the object of the invention to provide a housing with a non-circular housing part, the housing base of which can be easily opened and closed by a user.
Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Gehäuse der eingangs genannten Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Gehäuseboden einen Außenboden und einen in dem Außenboden drehbar gelagerten Innenboden aufweist.This object is achieved according to the invention in a housing of the type mentioned at the outset in that the housing base has an outer base and an inner base rotatably mounted in the outer base.
Mit Hilfe des drehbaren Innenbodens kann der Gehäuseboden in einfacher Weise von dem Benutzer geöffnet und verschlossen werden. Ein kompliziertes Einstecken des Gehäusebodens in das Gehäuseteil ist nicht erforderlich. Durch die Erfindung kann also der Benutzer den unrunden Gehäuseboden in gleicher Weise handhaben, wie er dies von dem kreisförmigen Gehäuseboden gewohnt ist. Das Öffnen und Schließen des Gehäuseteils beispielsweise zum Auswechseln von Batterien wird somit für den Benutzer wesentlich vereinfacht und damit erleichtert. Bei einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung weist die Außenkontur des Außenbodens etwa die Innenkontur des nicht-kreisförmigen Querschnitts des Gehäuseteils auf. Der eine Außenfläche des Gehäuses bildende Außenboden hat die Aufgabe, die zu verschließende Öffnung in dem Gehäuseteil abzudecken. Der Außenboden hat nicht die Aufgabe, eine Arretierung mit dem Gehäuseteil herzustellen oder sich zu drehen. Dadurch kann der Außenboden besonders gut an das Gehäuseteil angepaßt werden.With the help of the rotatable inner base, the housing base can be opened and closed by the user in a simple manner. Complicated insertion of the housing base into the housing part is not necessary. The invention allows the user to handle the non-circular housing base in the same way as he is used to from the circular housing base. The opening and closing of the housing part, for example for replacing batteries, is thus considerably simplified and thus made easier for the user. In an advantageous development of the invention, the outer contour of the outer bottom has approximately the inner contour of the non-circular cross section of the housing part. The outer bottom forming an outer surface of the housing has the task of covering the opening to be closed in the housing part. The outer bottom does not have the task of locking the housing part or rotating it. As a result, the outer bottom can be adapted particularly well to the housing part.
Bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung weist der Außenboden eine kreisförmige Öffnung auf, in die sich der Innenboden erstreckt, und es weist die Außenkontur des Innenbodens etwa die Innenkontur der kreisförmigen Öffnung des Außenbodens auf. Die Öffnung in dem Außenboden wird also von dem Innenboden ausgefüllt. Insgesamt wird somit die Außenfläche im Bereich des Gehäusebodens von dem Außenboden und dem durchtretenden Vorsprung des Innenbodens gebildet. In diesem durchtretenden Vorsprung ist der Innenboden beispielsweise mit einem Schlitz oder dergleichen versehen. Mit Hilfe dieses Schlitzes kann der Benutzer den Innenboden in einfacher Weise drehen und damit den gesamten Gehäuseboden von einem geschlossenen Zustand in einen geöffneten Zustand überführen.In a further advantageous development of the invention, the outer bottom has a circular opening into which the inner bottom extends, and the outer contour of the inner bottom has approximately the inner contour of the circular opening of the outer bottom. The opening in the outer floor is thus filled by the inner floor. Overall, the outer surface in the area of the housing base is thus formed by the outer base and the protruding protrusion of the inner base. In this protruding projection, the inner floor is provided with a slot or the like, for example. With the help of this slot, the user can turn the inner bottom in a simple manner and thus convert the entire housing bottom from a closed state into an open state.
Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind der Innenboden, das Gehäuseteil und der Außenboden in dem geschlossenen Zustand insbesondere durch Formschluß miteinander verbunden. Dies stellt eine einfache, aber sichere Befestigung des Gehäusebodens in dem Gehäuseteil dar. Der genannte geschlossene Zustand kann dabei dadurch erreicht werden, daß der Benutzer den Innenboden dreht und damit den Formschluß herbeiführt. In dem geöffneten Zustand ist der Formschluß nicht vorhanden, so daß der Gehäuseboden aus dem Gehäuseteil herausgenommen werden kann.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the inner base, the housing part and the outer base are connected to one another in the closed state, in particular by positive locking. This represents a simple but secure fastening of the housing base in the housing part. The closed state mentioned can be achieved in that the user rotates the inner base and thus brings about the positive connection. In the open state, the positive connection is not present, so that the housing base can be removed from the housing part.
Besonders zweckmäßig ist es, wenn der Innenboden mindestens einen Arm aufweist, dem ein Durchbruch oder dergleichen im Inneren des Gehäuseteils zugeordnet ist, in die der Arm in dem geschlossenen Zustand eingreift, und wenn des weiteren der Innenboden mindestens einen Arm aufweist, dem ein Rahmen oder dergleichen an dem Außenboden zugeordnet ist, in den der Arm in dem geschlossenen Zustand eingreift. Diese Maßnahmen sind konstruktiv in einfacher Weise zu realisieren, gewährleisten aber trotzdem einen sicheren Formschluß und damit eine dauerhafte Befestigung des Gehäu- sebodens in dem Gehäuseteil.It is particularly expedient if the inner bottom has at least one arm with which an opening or the like in the interior of the housing part is assigned, into which the arm engages in the closed state, and if the inner bottom also has at least one arm with a frame or The like is assigned to the outer bottom, in which the arm engages in the closed state. These measures can be implemented in a simple manner in terms of construction, but nevertheless ensure a secure positive fit and thus permanent attachment of the housing. sebodens in the housing part.
Bei einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung sind der Innenboden, insbesondere mindestens einer der Arme des Innenbodens, sowie das Gehäuseteil mit Arretierungsmitteln versehen, insbesondere mit einer Nase und einer zugeordneten Nut. Damit wird auf einfache Weise eine Arretierung des Innenbodens in dem geschlossenen Zustand erreicht. Der Innenboden kann sich dadurch nicht von selbst in seinen geöffneten Zustand verdrehen, und der Gehäuseboden kann sich somit nicht ohne Zutun des Benutzers aus dem Gehäuseteil lösen.In an advantageous development of the invention, the inner base, in particular at least one of the arms of the inner base, and the housing part are provided with locking means, in particular with a nose and an associated groove. This locks the inner bottom in the closed state in a simple manner. As a result, the inner base cannot twist into its open state by itself, and the base of the housing cannot therefore be detached from the housing part without the user having to do anything.
Bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist zwischen dem Gehäuseteil und dem äußeren Boden eine Dichtung und/oder zwischen dem äußeren Boden und dem inneren Boden eine Dichtung angeordnet. Die vorzugsweise aus einem Elastomer bestehenden Dichtungen verhindern ein Eindringen von Wasser und/oder Schmutz in das Innere des Gehäuses. Zweckmäßigerweise können die Dichtungen entweder zwischen die genannten Bauteile eingelegt oder an mindestens eines der genannten Bauteile in einem Zwei-Komponenten-Spritzverfahren angebracht sein.In a further advantageous development of the invention, a seal is arranged between the housing part and the outer bottom and / or a seal is arranged between the outer bottom and the inner bottom. The seals, which are preferably made of an elastomer, prevent water and / or dirt from penetrating into the interior of the housing. The seals can expediently either be inserted between the components mentioned or attached to at least one of the components mentioned in a two-component spraying process.
Dabei erweist es sich als vorteilhaft, daß mindestens eine der Dichtungen im Zwei- Komponenten-Spritzverfahren mit dem Gehäuseteil und/oder dem Außenboden und/oder dem Innenboden verbunden ist.It proves to be advantageous that at least one of the seals is connected to the housing part and / or the outer base and / or the inner base in a two-component spraying process.
Schließlich besteht von Vorteil die Möglichkeit, daß Durchbrüche des Gehäuse-- teils außen durch eine aus Elastomer bestehende Schicht abgedeckt sind, wobei die Schicht in einem Zwei-Komponenten-Spritzverfahren mit dem Gehäuseteil verbunden ist.Finally, there is the advantage that openings in the housing are partially covered on the outside by a layer made of elastomer, the layer being connected to the housing part in a two-component spraying process.

In den Figuren 1 bis 7 ist ein Gehäuseteil 1 eines Gehäuses dargestellt, das insbesondere als Gehäuse eines Elektrogeräts vorgesehen ist. Das Gehäuseteil 1 hat eine zylinderähnliche Form, weist jedoch einen nicht-kreisförmigen Querschnitt auf. Beispielsweise ist das Gehäuseteil 1 zur Unterbringung von einer oder mehrerer Batterien vorgesehen, die dann in Längsrichtung in dem Gehäuseteil 1 angeordnet sind. Das Gehäuseteil 1 weist an seinem freien Ende eine Öffnung 2 mit einer etwa ovalen Innenkontur auf, die von einem Gehäuseboden 3 ausgefüllt ist. Es versteht sich, daß die Innenkontur der Öffnung 2 kein regelmäßiges Oval sein muß, sondern eine beliebige, auch asymmetrische, Form haben kann. Der Gehäuseboden 3 ist etwa quer zur Längsrichtung angeordnet und ist lösbar mit dem Gehäuseteil 1 verbunden. In einem geschlossenen Zustand deckt der Gehäuseboden 3 die Öffnung 2 in dem Gehäuseteil 1 ab und verschließt damit das Gehäuseteil 1 . In einem geöffneten Zustand kann der Gehäuseboden 3 insbesondere mit Unterstützung einer Schraubendruckfeder oder dergleichen von dem Gehäuseteil 1 entfernt werden. Damit ist der Innenraum des Gehäuseteils 1 zugänglic,h und es können beispielsweise die darin untergebrachten Batterien herausgenommen werden.1 to 7 show a housing part 1 of a housing which is provided in particular as the housing of an electrical device. The housing part 1 has a cylinder-like shape, but has a non-circular cross section. For example, the housing part 1 is provided to accommodate one or more batteries, which are then arranged in the longitudinal direction in the housing part 1. The housing part 1 has at its free end an opening 2 with an approximately oval inner contour, which is filled by a housing base 3. It is understood that the inner contour of the opening 2 does not have to be a regular oval, but can have any shape, even asymmetrical. The housing base 3 is arranged approximately transversely to the longitudinal direction and is detachably connected to the housing part 1. In a closed state, the housing base 3 covers the opening 2 in the housing part 1 and thus closes the housing part 1. In an open state, the housing base 3 can be removed from the housing part 1 in particular with the support of a helical compression spring or the like. The interior of the housing part 1 is thus accessible, and the batteries accommodated therein can be removed, for example.
Der Gehäuseboden 3 weist einen Außenboden 4 und einen Innenboden 5 auf. Der Außenboden 4 ist etwa bündig zu dem freien Ende des Gehäuseteils 1 angeordnet und bildet eine Außenfläche des Gehäuseteils 1 bzw. des Gehäuses. Der Innenboden 5 ist auf der dem Innenraum zugewandten Seite des Gehäuseteils 1 angeordnet.The housing base 3 has an outer base 4 and an inner base 5. The outer bottom 4 is arranged approximately flush with the free end of the housing part 1 and forms an outer surface of the housing part 1 or the housing. The inner floor 5 is arranged on the side of the housing part 1 facing the interior.
Der Außenboden 4 weist eine etwa ovale Außenkontur auf, die der ovalen Innenkontur der Öffnung 2 im wesentlichen entspricht. Zwischen dem Außenboden 4 und dem Gehäuseteil 1 ist eine aus einem Elastomer bestehende Dichtung 6 angeordnet, die entweder zwischen den genannten Bauteilen eingelegt oder an einem der genannten Bauteile durch ein Zwei-Komponenten-Spritzverfahren angespritzt ist.The outer bottom 4 has an approximately oval outer contour which essentially corresponds to the oval inner contour of the opening 2. Arranged between the outer base 4 and the housing part 1 is a seal 6 consisting of an elastomer, which is either inserted between the components mentioned or is injection-molded onto one of the components mentioned by a two-component injection molding process.
Etwa im Schnittpunkt der längsten und der kürzesten Ausdehnung der von dem Außenboden 4 gebildeten etwa ovalen Fläche weist der Außenboden 4 eine kreisförmige Öffnung 7 auf. In diese Öffnung 7 erstreckt sich der Innenboden 5 mit einem kreisförmigen Vorsprung 8. Die Außenkontur des Vorsprungs 8 entspricht im wesentlichen der Innenkontur der Öffnung 7. Zwischen dem Außenbo- den 4 und dem Vorsprung 8 des Innenbodens 5 ist eine aus einem Elastomer bestehende Dichtung 9 angeordnet, die entweder zwischen den genannten Bauteilen eingelegt oder an einem der genannten Bauteile durch ein Zwei- Komponenten-Spritzverfahren angespritzt ist.Approximately at the intersection of the longest and the shortest extension of the approximately oval surface formed by the outer base 4, the outer base 4 has a circular opening 7. The inner bottom 5 extends into this opening 7 with a circular projection 8. The outer contour of the projection 8 corresponds essentially to the inner contour of the opening 7. Between the outer bottom 4 and the protrusion 8 of the inner base 5, a seal 9 consisting of an elastomer is arranged, which is either inserted between the components mentioned or is injection-molded onto one of the components mentioned by a two-component injection molding process.
Der Innenboden 5 ist mit seinem Vorsprung 8 in der Öffnung 7 und damit in dem Außenboden 4 drehbar gelagert. Die Drehachse ist etwa parallel zur Längsrichtung des Gehäuseteils 1 angeordnet. Der Außenboden 4 ist zusammen mit dem Innenboden 5 im Innenraum des Gehäuseteils 1 in Längsrichtung verschiebbar. Insbesondere kann der Außenboden 4 zusammen mit dem Innenboden 5 von dem Gehäuseteil 1 entfernt und herausgenommen werden. Ebenfalls ist der Innenboden 5 mit seinem Vorsprung 8 in der Öffnung 7 des Außenbodens 4 in Längsrichtung verschiebbar.The inner bottom 5 is rotatably supported with its projection 8 in the opening 7 and thus in the outer bottom 4. The axis of rotation is arranged approximately parallel to the longitudinal direction of the housing part 1. The outer bottom 4 can be moved together with the inner bottom 5 in the interior of the housing part 1 in the longitudinal direction. In particular, the outer base 4 can be removed and removed from the housing part 1 together with the inner base 5. Likewise, the inner base 5 with its projection 8 can be displaced in the longitudinal direction in the opening 7 of the outer base 4.
Der Innenboden 5 weist zwei Arme 10 auf, die etwa quer zur Längsrichtung des Gehäuseteils 1 und etwa einander entgegengesetzt angeordnet sind, und die sich in Richtung zu denjenigen Innenwänden des Gehäuseteils 1 erstrecken, die einen kürzeren Abstand zueinander aufweisen. In diesen Innenwänden sind zwei bis nach außen reichende Durchbrüche 1 1 enthalten, die den beiden Armen 10 zugeordnet sind. Die Arme 10 und die Durchbrüche 1 1 sind derart ausgebildet, daß in dem geschlossenen Zustand jeder der Arme 1 0 in den jeweils zugeordneten Durchbruch 1 1 eingreift und mit diesem einen Formschluß bildet. Auf diese Weise ist im geschlossenen Zustand der Innenboden 5 fest mit dem Gehäuseteil 1 verbunden.The inner base 5 has two arms 10 which are arranged approximately transversely to the longitudinal direction of the housing part 1 and approximately opposite one another and which extend in the direction of those inner walls of the housing part 1 which are at a shorter distance from one another. In these inner walls two openings 1 1 reaching outward are contained, which are assigned to the two arms 10. The arms 10 and the openings 1 1 are designed such that in the closed state each of the arms 1 0 engages in the respectively associated opening 1 1 and forms a positive connection with it. In this way, the inner base 5 is firmly connected to the housing part 1 in the closed state.
Des weiteren weist der Innenboden zwei Arme 1 2 auf, die etwa quer zur Längsrichtung des Gehäuseteils 1 und etwa einander entgegengesetzt angeordnet sind, und die sich in Richtung zu denjenigen Innenwänden des Gehäuseteils 1 erstrecken, die einen größeren Abstand zueinander aufweisen. Von dem Außenboden 4 stehen in den Innenraum des Gehäuseteils 1 zwei im wesentlichen U- förmige Rahmen 1 3 ab, die den beiden Armen 1 2 zugeordnet sind. Die Arme 1 2 und die Rahmen 1 3 sind derart ausgebildet, daß in dem geschlossenen Zustand jeder der Arme 1 2 in den jeweils zugeordneten Rahmen 13 eingreift und mit diesem einen Formschluß bildet. Auf diese Weise ist im geschlossenen Zustand der Außenboden 4 fest mit dem Innenboden 5 und damit auch fest mit dem Gehäuseteil 1 verbunden.Furthermore, the inner bottom has two arms 1 2, which are arranged approximately transversely to the longitudinal direction of the housing part 1 and approximately opposite one another, and which extend in the direction of those inner walls of the housing part 1 which are at a greater distance from one another. Two substantially U-shaped frames 1 3 protrude from the outer bottom 4 into the interior of the housing part 1 and are assigned to the two arms 1 2. The arms 1 2 and the frame 1 3 are designed such that in the closed state each of the arms 1 2 engages in the respectively associated frame 13 and forms a positive connection with it. In this way, in the closed state, the outer base 4 is firmly connected to the inner base 5 and thus also firmly to the housing part 1.
Die vier Arme 1 0 und 1 2 sind abwechselnd in einem Winkel von etwa 90 Grad zueinander angeordnet. Die zugeordneten Durchbrüche 1 1 und Rahmen 1 3 sind derart ausgebildet, daß die Arme 1 0, 1 2 aus dem beschriebenen geschlossenen Zustand in den geöffneten Zustand übergehen können. In diesem geöffneten Zustand liegen die Arme 10 außerhalb der Durchbrüche 1 1 und die Arme 1 2 außerhalb der Rahmen 1 3. Der geschlossene Zustand ist insbesondere in der Figur 4 und der geöffnete Zustand in der Figur 7 dargestellt.The four arms 1 0 and 1 2 are alternately arranged at an angle of approximately 90 degrees to one another. The assigned openings 1 1 and frame 1 3 are designed such that the arms 1 0, 1 2 can pass from the closed state described to the open state. In this open state, the arms 10 lie outside the openings 1 1 and the arms 1 2 outside the frames 1 3. The closed state is shown in particular in FIG. 4 and the open state in FIG. 7.
In den durch die Öffnung 7 hindurchstehenden Vorsprung 8 des Innenbodens 5 ist außen ein Schlitz 14 eingebracht. In diesen Schlitz 1 4 kann eine Münze oder dergleichen eingesteckt werden, mit der der Innenboden 5 von dem geöffneten Zustand in den geschlossenen Zustand und umgekehrt um einen Winkel von etwa 45 Grad gedreht werden kann. Es versteht sich, daß auch anders geformte Profile an die Stelle des Schlitzes 1 4 treten können.In the protrusion 8 of the inner bottom 5 protruding through the opening 7, a slot 14 is made on the outside. A coin or the like can be inserted into this slot 1 4, with which the inner base 5 can be rotated from the open state to the closed state and vice versa by an angle of approximately 45 degrees. It goes without saying that differently shaped profiles can take the place of the slot 1 4.
Einer der Arme 1 0 des Innenbodens 5 ist mit einer Nase 1 5 versehen, der eine Nut 1 6 in dem zugehörigen Durchbruch 1 1 des Gehäuseteils 1 zugeordnet ist. Die Nase 1 5 rastet in dem geschlossenen Zustand in die Nut 1 6 ein. Auf diese Weise ist der Innenboden 5 in dem geschlossenen Zustand arretiert. Es versteht sich, daß auch beide Arme 1 0 mit derartigen Nasen 1 5 und zugeordneten Nuten 1 6 und/oder die Arme 1 2 und die Rahmen 1 3 mit derartigen Arretierungsmitteln versehen sein können.One of the arms 1 0 of the inner bottom 5 is provided with a nose 1 5, which is assigned a groove 1 6 in the associated opening 1 1 of the housing part 1. The nose 1 5 snaps into the groove 1 6 in the closed state. In this way, the inner floor 5 is locked in the closed state. It is understood that both arms 1 0 with such lugs 1 5 and associated grooves 1 6 and / or the arms 1 2 and the frame 1 3 can be provided with such locking means.
Auf der Außenseite des Gehäuseteils 1 sind die Durchbrüche 1 1 mit einer aus einem Elastomer bestehenden Schicht 1 7 abgedeckt, die beispielsweise in einem Zwei-Komponenten-Spritzverfahren mit dem Gehäuseteil 1 verbunden ist. Die aus Elastomer bestehende Schicht 1 7 verbessert die Griffigkeit des Gehäuseteils 1 . Es versteht sich, daß anstelle der Durchbrüche 1 1 auch außen geschlossene Ausnehmungen in der Innenwand des Gehäuseteils 1 vorgesehen sein können. On the outside of the housing part 1, the openings 1 1 are covered with a layer 1 7 consisting of an elastomer, for example in one Two-component spraying process is connected to the housing part 1. The layer 17 made of elastomer improves the grip of the housing part 1. It goes without saying that instead of the openings 1 1, externally closed recesses can also be provided in the inner wall of the housing part 1.
